Ever notice how these rappers are becoming modern day minstrels. The hideous,bloated Ice-T doing his awful acting on Law & Order,Ice Cube stars in the new Jonah Hill comedy--and is probably very funny--while this guy just acts stupid to get attention. Werent they all so supposed to be murderers and stuff? I know Snoop Dogg has been to prison and inferred that he has taken part in jail rapes,which I find credible. I guess theyre like the Italian mobsters who wind up as teddy bears in mob movies and The Sopranos. Kind of clowns,but dont mess around with them,or they may bite?

A few years ago Comedy Central produced a roast of Mr. Flav. In his speech at that roast Jimmy Kimmel said that Flavor Flav was the reason George Bush didn't care about black people. As I recall, his tone lacked irony. I think the audience was meant to sympathize with Bush there. I was surprised. This was a reference to Kanye West and hurricane Katrina, so it had much wider implications than Flavor Flav.

lol, we used to dicuss that all the time. apparently you can do anything, and it's ok, 20 years later. these guys would rap about killing the police - and they meant it. it wasn't a joke, it wasn't about selling records. murdering white people, raping any women they wanted, killing police officers, breaking any and all laws were the things they were passionate about.

now the nice white people of the land just allow them to pretend that all didn't happen. ice cube can be in kids movies and be paid a million dollars for a few yuck yuck laughs. aw, isn't he kind of funny.

try doing any of that stuff if you're not a black american and see if people give you a pass and allow everybody to forget. they don't forget, they don't ever give you a pass. i first noticed this in sports, but it applies everywhere in US society.

what kills me is how black americans complain about society being so hard on them when that's a total inversion of reality. the rules are so, so relaxed for black americans. things are often turned upside down completely for them.

Actually, the old minstrel performers were as suave and sophisticated as Duke Ellington and his orchestra compared to the gangsta-rappers. In fact, just about every offensive stereotype of blacks from the past - chanting cannibals, bug-eyed lawn-jockeys, capering minstrels in black-face, and the Kingfish - were far less ridiculous than the strutting, vulgar, stupid, hat-on-sideways clown-thugs of rap.

Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.

You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.

Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).

Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here'show to do it.

My Book:

"Steve Sailer gives us the real Barack Obama, who turns out to be very, very different - and much more interesting - than the bland healer/uniter image stitched together out of whole cloth this past six years by Obama's packager, David Axelrod. Making heavy use of Obama's own writings, which he admires for their literary artistry, Sailer gives the deepest insights I have yet seen into Obama's lifelong obsession with 'race and inheritance,' and rounds off his brilliant character portrait with speculations on how Obama's personality might play out in the Presidency." - John Derbyshire Author, "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics" Click on the image above to buy my book, a reader's guide to the new President's autobiography.
